Follow the Template!

Tonight I just finished putting a new toilet paper roll in the downstairs bathroom.  As I was opening everything up and reading the instructions I saw there was a template that I'm supposed to put on the wall first.  I was wondering why and I almost didn't do it until finally I decided to stop being a stubborn know-it-all and used it.  Man that made all the difference!!  When I used that template, all 4 of the screws I screwed in to install the mounting brackets lined up perfectly! I put the ends on and attached the toilet paper and WOW! 

Well God showed me even in this small, insignificant situation that when we follow the template He has setup for our lives we can't go wrong.  Every screw will line up, every bracket will fit and the final product will be everything God wants us to be. God talks about this template in Jeremiah 1:5 when He told Jeremiah, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

God has given us a template to follow called the Bible! All we have to do is line up with it, drill holes and mount the Word in our hearts according to God's directions and we cannot go wrong! We will become the best we can be because we will become what God wants us to be.  So follow God's template for your life and bear witness to the fruit that will follow.  Your life will be blessed beyond measure!

God bless you!
